Yes, just updated. Unity package version is "4.16.0-0ubuntu2 (oneiric)".

To reproduce:
- install "mplayer" package (just mplayer, no gui)

- to make mplayer available to nautilus - create .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications with content:
   [Desktop Entry]
   Encoding=UTF-8
   Version=1.0
   Type=Application
   Exec=mplayer %f
   Name=mplayer
   NoDisplay=true

This step needed as nautilus in gnome 3 lacks option "use my own command" in "open with..." window.

- in nautilus, right click video file, open in -> another application -> show another applications - find mplayer and select. (My menuitems text in Russian, so I may name it incorrectly in English.)

- when mplayer starts playing, you will see an issue.
